Would this build make for a good HTPC?

I'm looking to build a small form factor PC for my father who doesn't really need a powerful PC and will only really use it to stream media and browse the web, maybe a odd bit of virtual DJ here and there too.

Summary:

CPU: Pentium G4400 w/ Stock cooler

Mobo: MSI H110 Pro (Micro-ITX)

RAM 4GB DDR4 @ 2133

Case & PSU: CiT MTX-005B w/ 300W PSU

Storage: 60GB SSD For OS and some apps.

I got a 320g laying around I can throw into it.

EDIT: Actually I'm pretty sure the case only has one bay.

EDIT 2: It Has a 3.5" bay and "2 x 2.5" Drive Support "

well not sure what kind of quality on the media, but i can get some graphical glitches if i try to play a nice quality x265 bluray rip (legal of course) on my HD530

Just streaming 1920x1080 from the web.

More than likely only 24fps.

Worst case, I got a GT730 laying around I could throw in it too.
